big docks and over 10000 barrels of oil
were destroyed. At one time 1t looked
as if the Office, several warehouses, the
dozen or more tanks in the neighb0r-
hood, a large brick storehouse, the
docks along the river front and the
manufactures of the Boyonne Chemical
works, the Oxford Copper and Sulpher
company, and the Standard Match COM
pany and the large lumber yard of A.
w. Booth & Bro. would be destroyed,
At the docks there had been a large
number of vessels. These had, however,
been tOwed out into the stream, but
none too soon. First one pier took fire,
then another, until the four large piers
were also in flames, casting lurid
glare upon the waters of New York
bay. BY this time the fire tugs had ar
rived and they fought the fire from the
water. Each of them threw several
streams upon the burning piers, and it
was only the efforts of the men on the
tugs that checked the spread of the
flames and saved the factories and lum-
ber yards along the water front. On
the land side the fire had also been got
under control, and the office, stOrehouse
and neighbOring tanks were saved.
The standard people estimate their loss
at about $1,0OO,OOO. There was no in

TOO HEAVY GUNS
Provided for the New Steel Cruiser
Atlanta.

New YORK, July 20.-Private letters
from an officer and machinist on board
the new steel cruiser Atlanta, to friends
in the Brooklyn navy yard, say that
during the target practice in Gardner's
bay, the day before yesterday, the eight
inch bow and stern barbette pivot guns
recoiled with such force as to tear loose
the track on which they turn and also to
rip up portion of the heavy gun deck.
These guns are the heaviest guns afiOat
in the service and those ON the Atlanta
are the first of them to be tested on
board ship by our naval officers. Just
how serious the damage is could not be
learned. No official report of it has
reached the navy yard. The officers of
the Boston are anxious to know the
exact facts regarding the occurrence.
The Boston is sister ship of the At
lanta and the tracks for her eight-inch
guns are laid in the same way. Her
guns are not yet on board. The letters
say that the damage was done by a
charge of ninety pounds of powder.
During the firing live sheep was used
to ascertain just how near men may
stand to the muZZle of these great guns
when they are fired without being killed
by the cOncussiOn. At one discharge,
the letters say, the sheep was blown
clean over hatchway and killed.
Officers on the Boston think this must
have been done to ascertain whether an
eight-inch gun can be safely worked
while six-inch gun next to it is being
fired almost across the eight-inch guns
track.

Fire at Cincinnati.

CINCINNATI, July 20.-Briggs Swift's
old pork house, on the northwest corner
of Ninth and Sycamore streets, which
was recently remodelled for manufact-
uring purposes, burned this forenoon,
involving loss of S150,000. The fire
started in the ice-cream freezer factory
of the GoOch Freezer company, which
occupied the first and second stories of
the fOur-stOry structure. Their place
being filled with dry lumber, the fire
almost instantly communicated to the
whole building. The entire fire depart
ment force was called out and succeeded
in saving adjoining buildings. The other
occupants of the building were Wrigley
Bros, manufacturers of paper boxes,
and the White Star laundry. All were
completely burned out. Of the 800 EN-
ployes in the building when the fire
started all succeeded in escaping with
out injury so far as known. There is a
rumOr that one girl is missing, but it
cannot be verified yet. The losses are:
Gooch Freezer company, 1000, insur-
ance s14, 200; Briggs Swift, $50, 900, fully
insured; White Star laundry, S25, 900,
insurance $4,000; Wrigley Bros, $4,000,

NORTH WESTERN LEAGUE.
a Victory Ordered Taken FROM
ST. Paul's String.

Special 10 the Globe
MILWAUKEE, July 2O.-Sam Morton,
of Chicago, was the unanimous selection
made at the meeting of the Northwest
ern league to-day for the position Of
secretary of that body. The new secre-
tary was an aspirant for the position last
winter, and has had his eye on it
ever since he perceived that The league
was a success. Morton is young man
about thirty years of age, and by reason
of his long connection with Al Spauld-
ing, whose confidential man he is, is
thoroughly cOnversant with base ball
matters and is well known among base
ball men throughout the country.
He was secretary of the old
Northwestern league in 1880 and 1884.
Secretary Quin, who has hitherto hadi
charge of the affairs of the league, ten
dered his resignation. 1t is understood
that a majority of the managers would
have requested his resignation had he
not got out of the way. The different
protests that have been filed during the
season were taken up, but, excepting
one, none of them were considered.
The exception was the st. Paul-Eau,
Claire game of May 21, which was called
by Umpire Daily before o'clock on ac-
count of alleged darkness. The
game was ordered TO be played
over Aug. 20. This game was
in favor of st. Paul, which
Thereby loses one of the victories
credited to it. Regarding the $500 rest
ing on La Crosse and S100 on Manager
Harrington for withdrawing the La
Crosse team from the field in a game
against Des Moines, action was
laid over until the next meet
ing. The fine CT SIS on.
Catcher Hardie was ordered paid
at once, however. Opinions were ex-
pressed freely at the meeting concern
ing the shortcomings of certain mem-
bers of the league and Manager Bryan
was handled without gloves.
Good feeling prevailed, however,
and the meeting ended har-
moniously. Those present at
the meeting were President Roche,
of st. Paul; A. NJ. Thompson, of st.
Paul, also holding a proxy for Mime
apOliS; G. NJ. Sherman, of Des MOines;
H. d. Davis, of Eau Claire; E. G. RO-
dolf, of La Crosse; c. c. Chase, of
Oshkosh; j. w. Anderson of Duluth;
II. D. Quin and George d. Hart, of
Milwaukee.

In Collision.

LONDON, July 20.-Two more of the
great British ironclads have been in
collision. The AgincOurt was run into
to-day at Portsmouth by the Black
Prince and damaged. The Agincourt is
an iron screw ship, armOr plated and of
10,69O tons and 6,S70 horse power, and
the Black Prince is an iron, armor plated
ship of 9,210 tons and 5,77O horse power.
The naval review at Spithead has
been the occasion of an unprecedented
number of mishaps, and the items for
repairs to vessels disabled through the
carelessness or incompetency of those
i'll charge of them will likely furnish
ample material to the parliamentary
economists when the matter can be
properly discussed in the house. Thus
far no one has been seriously injured,
but as there is constant danger of a re-
curIence of collisions no one can say
what may happen next.

Riotous Strikers.

GREENsBURG, Pa, July 20.-A con-
fiict is reported between the miners at
work at the Mammoth, coke works and
the strikers. A party of forty strikers
marched to the works this afternoon,
and after driving off Sheriff Byers and
six deputies, forced the fifteen men at
work to quit. In the melee three of the
non-union men were knocked down and
severely beaten. Sheriff Byers has
called upon the governor for militia to
protect the men, as he says his force
has declined to interfere, and destruc-
ton of property and perhaps loss Of
life may result. The strikers are ugly,
and the impression in WestmOreland
county is that the strike is very far from

LONDON, July 20.-Lord Salisbury's
surrender to the UniOnists on the ques-
ton of revising and reducing the judi
cial rents in Ireland has caused howl
of indignation and rage among the rank
and file of the Conservative party that
augers ill for the Tory Representatives in
the house of commons when next the
electors are given an opportunity TO
disperSe rewards for faithful service or

hands of those to whom they cOnfided
their interests. Especially is the sug-

a lamentable exhibition and only served

THE IRISH LEADER.
He Talks Eloquently at National

BY Cable to the Globe.
LONDON, July 20.-Mr. Parnell and a
large number of his parliamentary fol-
lowers were guests at a banquet giveni in
their honor at the National Liberal club
ously drank the queens health. which
was proposed by Lewis l.. DiHwyn,
member for Swansea town. Mr.. Par
nell, in responding to toast, took occa-
sion to eulOgiZe Mr.. Gladstone, who, he
said, having put his shoulder to the
wheel, would before many months had
elapsed carry his policy to success, and
be recognized as
THE ONLY GREAT MAN,
all others being imitatorS and thinkers.
He wondered how long EnglshmeD
would be content to see the government
march up hill and then down again.
The recent elections had forced the gov
ernment to make concessions or resign,
and they had chosen the former. The
English Liberals might be assured that
their eXertiOns in behalf of Ireland
would not be wasted altogether. In Ire
land the extremes of misery and of
crime would diminish and the people be
turned toward constitutional methods,
instead of physical force. The Liberals

their eXertions the way to an honorable
union. If the Liberal programme
failed herein was great reward. they

violence and revenge and brought the
nation to depend upon lawful methods
of redress. If the government, said
Mr.. Parnell, honestly and fairly tried to
carry out the amendments of the land
bill, and if the execution of those
amendments was in 10 way frustrated
they would never have to use the
coercion bill, which would become a
standing memorial of the time the Tory
government of 1887 had wasted. The
dimunitiOn of crime in Ireland had
proved the gratitude of her people TO
the Liberals, and he trusted that the
Irish people would long rely upon the
good feeling of the Liberals toward
them, even when oppressed, trampled
upon or evicted from their homes.
They should be slow to retaliate. and
remember that the Tory government
would not last forever. From motives
of self interest the Irish people would
